The triad of politics-demography-national security in the destiny of Bulgarians

The triad of politics-demography-national security in the destiny of Bulgarians

Триадата политика – демография – национална сигурност в съдбата на българите

Author(s): Trendafil Atanasov Mitev / Language(s): English,Bulgarian / Publication Year: 0

Keywords: demographics; demographic policy; demographic catastrophe; National Security

In the history of the Bulgarian people, a permanent trend is laid down, which is manifested by the certainty of an unchangeable political law: in the implementation of an incorrect policy by the authorities in relation to the demographic state of the nation, the Bulgarians and their country are faced with the most serious tests. In some of the cases (at the end of the 90s of the 14th century), the finale was the sunset and liquidation of the independent state institution. And vice versa – when conducting the optimal possible favorable demographic policy, the Bulgarian nation grows very quickly and solves the most significant problems related to its existence (the example of the survival of our nation during the period of Ottoman rule, the conquest of liberation in 1878, the rapid development of the economy and culture in the second half of the 20th century, etc.). During the last quarter century of the current century, once again the authorities in Sofia did not implement the optimal possible policy for the current conditions, which would prevent the spontaneous „escape of Bulgarians from the motherland“, which is why the problem related to national security again comes to the fore as a primary state task. This article is an attempt to reveal both the adverse consequences of the wrong demographic policy for national security and also the benefits that national security gains from pursuing a policy that pushes forward the development of national demographic potential. The purpose of the article is to summarize the existing experience – both with a negative tone and with a constructive content, in order to apply what life has proven to be useful for the upward development of Bulgaria. Because without a people there is no country. In a country with a small population, national security cannot be guaranteed.

Author(s): Anna Mantarova / Language(s): English,Bulgarian / Publication Year: 0

Keywords: risks; cross-border migration; national security; attitudes and reactions towards immigrants

It focuses the stratification pyramid of Bulgarian population and its shifts from 1986 – the end of the „developed socialism“ epoch, through transitory 2001-2011 decade, up to 2019. The paper discusses the civil effect in the stratification profile in four focal points – in 2001 after the so called „Transition“ (1989-1999), that was the First Transition from socialism to liberal capitalism; in 2011 after the social optimism decade regarding Bulgaria’s accession to the EU – that is the Second Transition (2007); in 2019, that where 5 years after the time of Third Transition (2014-2017), that was the time of total mafiatization of the State and Government – as a substance that was the return to the model of one party and one political leather domination, in the state and manifestations of new feudalism and authoritarianism. The macro-range of the shifts in the system of the Bulgarian society, which resulted in a sharply changed stratification profile and society’s civil model is characterized. It is not only about the Base of the society, but also about the complete reconstruction in the society’s Superstructure, of the new ideological dogma and political correctness in the state. It is also about the abrupt and radical relocation of Bulgaria from East to West in its global positioning as a country and Bulgarian nation. All is analyzed as inner social and societal, state and institutional environment of civil uncertainty and national security problem. As a base of increased risk of illegal Arab-Muslim immigration from 2014 up to now, the aggregation of risky mass of eastern „refugees“ in Bulgaria and their sitting here as a new „national minority“ which doubles and triples the problems of Bulgarian national security.The paper presents own empirical data of national representative surveys, valid for current resident population within Bulgaria, aged 18-70, conducted by Agency ASSA-M with comparable samples.

About the Political Conditioning of the War

About the Political Conditioning of the War

Относно политическата обусловеност на войната

Author(s): Yordan Stoyanov Doykov / Language(s): English,Bulgarian / Publication Year: 0

Keywords: security; state; state interest; geopolitical imperative; foreign policy; force; domestic policy; balance of power

The article offers a reflection on the political conditioning of war. Its starting point is the state's primary concern – security. Meaningfully, it is materialized in the state interest, in the raison d’Etat. The fundamental basis of the state interest is in the protection of the subjectivity of the state itself. Inasmuch as the raison d'Etat is ultimately oriented fundamentally towards security in order to hold the community together and hence has a direct bearing on whether the state defends itself by military means or by other means relevant to the specific situation, the question of realization on its part is reached of its geopolitical imperative by applying Kremer's principles.

Keywords: risks; ethnicities; religions; Europe; security; terrorism; radicalization; Islam

All three monotheistic religions – Judaism, Christianity and Islam – have passed through the stage of violence. Islam has a number of specific manifestations in European countries that must be taken into account as they are closely related to their social peace and security.

Legal mechanisms of protection against religious discrimination for the purpose of public safety in the Republic of Serbia, shortcomings in regulations problems in practice

Legal mechanisms of protection against religious discrimination for the purpose of public safety in the Republic of Serbia, shortcomings in regulations problems in practice

Legal mechanisms of protection against religious discrimination for the purpose of public safety in the Republic of Serbia, shortcomings in regulations problems in practice

Author(s): Aleksandra Jovanović,Aneta Cvetkovic,Nikola Jovanovic / Language(s): English,Bulgarian / Publication Year: 0

Keywords: religion; prohibition of discrimination; criminal protection; constitutionally guaranteed rights and freedoms; security

Some of the basic human freedoms - freedom of thought, conscience and religion are covered by the principle of non-discrimination from the point of view of law, morality and politics. This principle derives from the constitutional principle of equality and separation of churches and religious communities from the state of Serbia. It is precisely from this principle and the rights guaranteed by the constitution that the state's obligation to be neutral in relation to religious organizations registered on its territory arises. In order to prevent endangering or preventing the enjoyment of human rights and basic freedom of religion, the state prohibits religious discrimination through numerous regulations. For the purpose of sanctioning illegal discrimination, this issue is regulated by the Criminal Code of the Republic of Serbia, which enables the state to protect public safety on its territory. Uneven regulations dealing with this issue and their uneven application are present in practice, while difficult application of regulations in the field of prohibition of discrimination is present in practice in the territory of RS Kosovo and Metohija. The goal of the work is to raise awareness and encourage a response to discrimination for the purpose of public safety, to contribute to the appreciation of diversity and point out the problem of discrimination, but also to point out the shortcomings of international and national regulations that regulate the principle of non-discrimination and the still insufficient and uneven fulfillment of regulations in practice, and all for the full protection of citizens from discrimination.

Keywords: electoral cycle; meta-electoral cycle; parliamentary elections; political crisis; presidential elections

In the spring of 2021, only the fourth four-year rule of Republic of Bulgaria came to an end. After Ivan Kostov (1997-2001), Simeon Saxe-Coburg Gotha (2001-2005) and Sergey Stanishev (2005-2009), the third cabinet of Boyko Borisov (2017-2021) kept the executive power in its allotted 4-year and closed the regular electoral cycle for holding parliamentary elections. But the change in public attitudes and the unforeseen dynamics of the political process after the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic and the protests of the summer of 2020 lead to the emergence of another political crisis in Bulgaria, from which there is still no prospect of exit (despite the drafting of „the rotation cabinet“ of N. Denkov and M. Gabriel at the beginning of the June 2023).
